An Act to close the achievement gap by addressing disparities in children's vision

Summary

The bill sets up a Children’s Vision and Eye Health Advisory Council within the state health department and requires a secure, statewide registry of children’s vision screening results. Health providers, school nurses and certain state agencies must report data to the registry, which is kept private and can be accessed only by authorized users. The council will advise on vision‑health policies and report its findings each year, aiming to reduce vision‑related gaps in student achievement.
